1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Aims: Parathyroidectomy (PT) is commonly performed for hyperparathyroidism. We investigated the association between surgical subspecialty and adverse outcomes in patients undergoing PT. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the 2005-2018 National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes were used to identify cases with a primary procedure of PT. Demographics, comorbidities, and complication incidences were compared between patients undergoing surgery by general surgeons or otolaryngologists using chi-square analyses. The independent effect of surgical subspecialty on adverse outcomes was analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results: 49,667 (86.7%) PT performed by general surgeons and 7,595 (13.3%) by otolaryngologists were identified from 2005 to 2018. Chi-square analysis indicated that general surgery patients had lower incidences of obesity (42.0% vs. 44.6%; Conclusion: Surgical subspecialty is associated with PT operative time but is not associated with perioperative complications. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-025-05436-1.
